a verry berry breakfast!! {no, not barry manilow}

??? hahaha. that was so clearly micah's input on the title. haha he makes me smile..a lot.

we had a delicious breakfast this morning -- micah's favorite --

Blueberry Pecan Pancakes from the Makers Diet Book. they were woonderful.

here's the recipe if you'd like to try them:

1 1/2 cups freshly ground or soaked spelt, kamut or whole-wheat flour(we use spelt)

3/4 cup of water mixed with one tbsp. of yogurt

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup pecans

1/4 tsp. celtic sea salt

1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

and i added about 1 tsp of cinnamon this time just for fun. it was a good addition..may try more next time.

(^these bowls - only half of set - are one of my favorite wedding gifts from williams sonoma -- they make baking and cooking so neat and orderly and i LOVE that! ^)

mix flour with yogurt and water and let stand overnight. mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. ( i only use a little bit of the coconut oil. not a taste im real fond of just yet. and it doesnt need a 1/2 cup of oil. i use about 1/8 of that in the mix and the rest in the pan). heat some of oil in pan over low heat. increase to moderate heat. use about 3 tbsp of batter for each pancake. makes about 12. serve with honey, maple syrup or butter. we use the organic natural maple syrup and its DELICIOUS!!

we love them with strawberries on top

it was verry berry cause we also had our usual berry smoothie :)

yesterday was wonderfully relaxing. micah worked on music which i LOVED listening to and i read next to him on the couch. it makes me so happy that he's working on his music.

he wrote a very pretty new song

one of my favorite things about this time of year!! got my first bag yesterday!

(hopefully my ONLY bag)

i dont know why i like it so much. its so NOT makers approved.

And i found this picture of our kitchen from when i first came to see the house and i couldn't believe it how different it looks!!

AFTER:

we went for a walk this morning which was nice. we're tryin to start doing it every morning. it was fun though because as soon as we turn onto south first street we can see the austin skyline. and while we were walking my friend sarah drove past and honked and then heather, a girl i work with, honked!! it was fun for it to feel like a small town for a second or two :)

well, its 12:30 so i best get to getting somethin done around here!

bye!
